Hanlon has been sacked.

From the site...

 

St Albans City have announced that manager Ritchie Hanlon has parted company with the club. Chairman John Gibson said "I feel sorry for Ritchie as luck hasn't gone his way with regard to injuries but this is a results business. We hoped that results would improve after the positive displays in the Bishops Stortford and Lewes games but unfortunately this was not the case and we have had no choice but to part company."

 

Senior members of the squad will take training sessions and further statements from the club including the announcement of a successor for Ritchie will be issued in due course.

Will be interesting to see who Hanlon's succesor is.

You're getting confused with Dean Ashton and Matthew Upson.

This was just a jokey comment on last night's Non League Show. They featured the St Albans City situation in some depth.

Here's a link to the site:

I think the chairman's been a little too hasty. Hanlon should have been given the cup game and the Welling United home game to turn things around. I know the team have conceeded 8 goals in two games but with ten men for the majority of both games it's hardly a surprise!

Good luck to Ritchie and good luck to whoever steps into the hot seat.

I don't think we should gamble with the Cup game. There is prize money involved and the chance of lucrative ties in the next rounds. Gibbo has made the right decision. His next decision it to bring in someone with more experience.

 

Dean Austin?

Matt Jones for the Saints' job perhaps?

[Laz]

I could live with that!

 

I'm not sure he'd want to leave his current job though!

[YELLOW]

If current form persists he may have no choice!!!

[c'mon ricay]

Well in the league its 1 point from 12 with 12 conceded in the four games which is shocking considering that Ricay had the tightest defence in the league last season

 

Its mostly down to the loss of our only defensive midfielder Matt Game which sees so theirs a lack of someone putting their foot on the ball in midfield putting more pressure on to the defence who seem unable to cope

 

Also having lost to players to football league clubs since the start of last season Nathan Elder to Brighton in January and Chris Whelpdale to Peterborough in the summer Ricay were always liable to struggle

 

Hopefully if Ricay beat third bottom RPL bottom club Maidstone in the FAC then hopefully a quality dmc may become available and everything will be fine but if Ricay lose then I think he may well be in trouble if the next couple of games after that end in poor performances

I hadn't realised you were doing so badly

I've been too occupied with us to mock you lot...

The Review is suggesting Gary Phillips is interested! He was at the Thurrock game.
